[TUT] PHP Shell Scripting

[Gaijin]

This was very informative. I didn't know PHP had this capability.

Not only that is HAS, it is really useful.
Let's say, in case your Server has access to a Shell you can write scripts that will make your life easier. For example, you could write a Script that makes backups of all or single files every X seconds/minutes.... etc...
But you're also not only limited to your Server, as you can see it can be executed from your own System and do the same thing.

I was working on a Script, which I will post it as soon as I can access the files on my HDD.
The script has functions to check a site for broken links, keywords, on/offline, site validation and some security testing functions, SQL Injection for example....

I'm glad you like it... There is more to tell about this subject, but I'm still checking it out....
This tutorial is just to give people a feeling of what PHP is capable of....
